I am an ex-research scientist who is planning on becoming a world traveler on the seas. I have backpacked extensivley through Europe, but now am getting ready for an adventurous retirement. My partner and I are in the second year of our three year plan to re-fit the sailboat, sell the house and spend the rest of our days on the sea.
Follow our journey on: The Other Woman.

Scientists are a dedicated bunch, and those that work at the South Pole perhaps the most dedicated. While living in extreme temperatures and periods of total darkness, researches conduct studies of the atmosphere and other geophysical conditions.

Being in the Peace Corps is a great experience and I highly encourage everyone to do it. The biggest surprise to me was how much time I spent alone, and the continuous adjustments I made over the two year time span.
